Lasseter Sheds Light on Dia De Los Muertos

While Pixar's upcoming Dia De Los Muertos is still years out from release, we've already learned about a few key components of the film. For one, the feature will be helmed by Toy Story 3 director Lee Unkirch. It will also explore the Mexican culture's uplifting view of death. (The film's title, translated in English, means "Day of the Dead.")

Now, Disney and Pixar CCO John Lasseter has revealed a few more tidbits on the project, describing it as a "really a fantastic story of family." While no other details have been divulged, /Film speculates that the movie could center on a human protagonist who suffers from a death in the family and explores the ritualistic heritage of the Mexican holiday as a call to action -- an interesting theory, although this is purely based on an educated guess.

In the meantime, the studio still has several other projects lined up to come out before this one, including Monsters University, The Good Dinosaur and Pixar's untitled film set in the human mind.
